[Intro] There is a road to the left And a road to the right And there's a road to freedom, babe If you tie the thing right [Verse 1] Went down to your miserable garden Where hang from callow boughs the fruits of my labour And where my wagers squat, strain for ascension For a mention in your bloody black book And look what comes, slouching towards us Just turned away from Bethlehem It comes to revile, it comes to abhor us All clinging like a child to the vicar's hem [Verse 2] When first I denied, the cock crew in the morning The second time 'round I was away with the scum Never mind if I lied to you, baby I made you a wasteland, put tears on your tongue I once was blind, now I am blinder Rolling my rock down the heaving Strand Baby's alright, she got a real man beside her And I am on a chain held in his warm hand [Bridge] See How the sun makes light of the way I'm looking See Through the rifle's sight the beast ready for cooking [Verse 3] And one more time down into darkness A wasted husk, a fertile seed It matters not, the world will ask nothing of you Ecclesiastes, baby, I got everything you need [Bridge] For in much wisdom is much grief And he that increaseth knowledge also increaseth sorrow And then I communed with mine own heart Saying lo, I am come to great estate And have gotten more wisdom than all those who came before me But that which is crooked cannot be made straight What is wanting cannot be numbered So I sacked it all off for a bitter jug of wine And a jezebel in Jerusalem, baby [Outro] Hang down your head, let the day go by Hang down your head, let the children cry
